]]> Comment on First Brunch of 2009 by Jackie http://foodblog.jkvetter.com/2009/01/10/first-brunch-of-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-183 Jackie Sun, 11 Jan 2009 00:59:06 +0000 http://foodblog.jkvetter.com/?p=1164#comment-183 Thanks, Ken for starting the posts for 2009! We did have a wonderful time and we have heard from some of the people who were here and they had a wonderful time also. I'm not sure how Ken didn't get pictures of all the food, but he made a delicious pan of "Vegan" cinnamon rolls, everybody couldn't stay out of them. We also had a Breakfast Casserole out of the Sheckells Family cookbook and Grand Marnier French Toast. It was a delicious brunch. I couldn't have done it without Ken though. He is an excellent partner in the kitchen. Not only did he cook, but he kept the dishes done up too! Thank you everybody for coming out to celebrate with us. And, if you want to be on the invitation list for next year, let us know on here! We'd love to fill the house! Thanks, Ken for starting the posts for 2009!

]]> Comment on Days 10 – 14 by Ken http://foodblog.jkvetter.com/2008/08/19/days-10-14/comment-page-1/#comment-163 Ken Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:25:34 +0000 http://foodblog.jkvetter.com/?p=1006#comment-163 I followed the plan very closely while I was out of town. Sunday evening when I arrived in Indianapolis, our daughter prepared tacos, beans, & other vegetables that were within the plan. I encouraged her to post the dish. For breakfast, as always, I had my <a href="http://www.jkvetter.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Biometics</a> vitamin drink, and soaked oatmeal with raisins, nuts, and a bit of agave nectar. Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday I purchased watermelon, strawberries, apples and peaches for my lunches. I also had green leafy salads with a variety of veggies. Following the plan this closely for 14 days I have discovered that I have a difficulty with the amount of raw vegetables we have been eating. I did not really find the 14 days to be difficult, but Jackie and I were doing it together as a team. And I am now glad it's over. This morning, as always, I had my <a href="http://www.jkvetter.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Biometics</a> vitamin drink. Jackie had left me some soaked oatmeal and I added raisins, nuts, and a bit of agave nectar. I then fixed Jackie a green leafy salad, grapes and juiced carrots, an apple, & celery, for her lunch & snack. I followed the plan very closely while I was out of town.

I found your website just this morning through the E2L forum on Yahoo. My husband and I started E2L just a few days ago. I realized quickly that I needed to re-learn how to cook if we were to stand a chance of succeeding on this new plan. Your soup recipe looked great and I had nearly everything in the house. I made it for dinner just as you wrote it except that I added some mushrooms I need to use up. FANTASTIC! Something about the soup is very "meaty". Subtly flavored and extremely satisfying. Looking forward to what you cook next! Thanks! Hey Jackie. I found your website just this morning through the E2L forum on Yahoo. My husband and I started E2L just a few days ago.

I had never thought of the comparison to those "icy squares" (which I used to LOVE as a kid), but I can see the resemblance. Thanks so much for giving this a try and for the shout-out. Have a great (chocolatey) Sunday-- Ricki :) Jackie,

]]> Comment on Thai Curry Soup by Jackie http://foodblog.jkvetter.com/2008/07/06/thai-curry-soup/comment-page-1/#comment-156 Jackie Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:21:45 +0000 http://foodblog.jkvetter.com/2008/07/06/thai-curry-soup/#comment-156 Another good looking dish. Again, you don't have to use meat to make this dish delicious. I've eaten Thai soup vegetarian so many times and it is amazing! If you need to, you can add "fake" meat to the recipe to give it that feel you like, but the more you eat it without, the better you will like it. Also, I would use veggie broth instead of chicken broth. Beth, you and Kelly are going to have to cook for us sometime! Another good looking dish.

Just be careful how much you use due to the sodium content. It makes a great flavor enhancer. Thanks for the recipe, Beth. I like the fact that you feel comfortable enough to contribute recipes and then let me offer vegan/vegetarian substitutions since you don't cook this way. Gives us some great ideas.
